I have to agree with Bud, Cougerbait, Calypso, MI VHNTR, Crazywolf, JBrad, and whoever else thinks it is just a tad bit anal to get worked up about nicknames for coyotes. I normally refer to them as coyotes but if I want to refer to them as something else that's my business and I shouldn't have to worry about some judgmental a-hole piping up over it. Personally I only get childish impressions of people that fret over this subject and judge someone's ability as a predator caller by what nickname they may or may not call a animal. I know Cal was not implying that it was right or wrong but those others out there that have a problem with nicknames need to get a fricken life!! It's mindsets like this that has reduced another pred board out there to a meaningless, one-post-a-week waste of bandwidth. What drivel.

Usually I use the nick names "'yote" and "sage wolf."
At the end of an unsuccesful day it usually becomes " " and " ." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I look at this is an expression of "the American way". We all know a coyote when we see one, we all know a story about a coyote when we read it. Almost all the time I use the term "coyote" when talking about the coyote, but occasionally it gets old writing coyote, coyote, coyote, coyote. For a little spice I will throw in a variation. Dog, song dog, brush wolf and many many more, all work for me, but I do prefer to use them in moderation.
On to another touchy subject brought up in this thread. For lots of you fellas taking a domestic dog is a very, even extremely difficult subject. Occasionally this love for the domesticated dog goes far beyond common sence. I do not go around killing domesticated dogs that I see in the wild, but I have put down the occasional dog. This standard has changed with the locall that I live in. In upsate New York Fish & Game pushed this practice as almost your god required duty. Basicly, you see a dog unaccompanied in the woods you were to kill it. I would not do this unless I actually saw them in hot pursuit of a deer. Out west (where the bulk of this arguement seems to be strongest) I mostly leave them alone. That is unless a rancher is having problems with particular dogs. It that case I try to get a rock solid description of the problem dog/dogs. I will generaly take these dogs if they are called. I have also called abandoned dogs near indian reservations, sometimes these diseased wrecks of once beautiful dogs are seriously in need of killin' (we are talking about limping, open sores, skin and bone creatures that have little chance of making it) and have taken a few of those.

I use the term Yote when speaking with friends who have the same interest and coyote with most everyone else. It's just a shortened nickname for coyote. Those who don't like it and feel coyote is the only term just remember that coyote is just a shortened common name for the original scientific name, genus and species, canis latrans. If you look up coyote in the dictionary it also is called a prairie wolf.
Two questions.........
1. I wonder if the tree huggers have discussions like these? and
2. Who gives a rats @$$?
Instead of posting things like this - GO HUNTING!!!
Do something constructive. It does not make anyone a better caller/hunter if they use a specific name for the animal they are calling. And to be politically correct their called Canis latranis. If you prefer everyone to call them coyote instead of yote or song dog or whatever then I guess you just S.O.L. and as far as an explanation as to why people call them that your S.O.L. cause it don't matter!!!!!

Coyote isn't a shortened form of Canis latrans.
Canis latrans means "barking dog."
Coyote comes from the animal's Aztec name coyotl.
Interestingly enough, coyotl, translated to Vietnamese then to Hindi then back to Vegas street slang means "one who offends with buckets of Purina breath in highly-confined elevator."

I call em "bubbles". I have my reasons. Bubbles are fun, the fly around, they tickle when the hit my nose, Depending on whether people are watching, I like to try and eat them. My pet beagle Benny does the same thing, actually, I learned it from him sooooo....Coyotes have tails and bark like Benny sometimes, so everytime I see a coyote I think of Benny and eating bubbles, hence the name "bubbles". I like bubbles.

I would say the captain got out of bed on the wrong side, or someone $@it in his cornflakes. Relax a little there cap. As far as who gives a rats @$$ apparently I do, or I was curious enough to wonder what everyone elses take on it was. I wasn't trying to influence anyones choices one way ot the other, and didn't say what I thought anyone else should call them. Don't tell me what to do either, i.e. (do something constructive). I'm fairly sure I spend far more days in the field hunting coyotes than you do, but when the wind blows or its dark I come here and ask stupid questions, and if that's what I choose to do so be it. I sure don't need critisisms from you about what I choose to ask about in a post. Go fishing somewhere else.

I don't reply to many of these topics....but dang if most aren't fun to read. Honestly though, I can't understand why this is "controversial"?
Unless some of you think yourselves better than some of us do to what we do or don't call a certain animal. If so, damn!
Who cares, I don't. If you don't care that I don't care all the better, that is everybodies right and that is how it should be.
Technically you forgot to mention whether it is coyote with a silent "e" or a hard "e". There are two other options.
As for Rin and Lassie, I've shot both, as well as fido, sylvester, and garfield. Like it was stated before, if they are killing the calves, lambs, chics, or what ever. They are dead too! Bullets don't discriminate.
Just my toughts on this!

Cal,
I like to call them As Often As Possible /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I think some of you fellas need to add more fiber to your diet /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Doug, I think you have the best answer of all. RanUtah is running a close second, and Encore third.
If what ever you call them [B THEY STILL COME[/b] you must be doing something right. So tell me what it is maybe it will work for me too. What Iam interested in is the how to's. If I can get the just of that from your post then spelling and what EVER you call them don't matter. I want more to, walk OR run up, stop and say here I am SHOOT ME!!! and the landowners that I hunt on love to see tails hanging on the fence.
